Soulful Shabbat

In our modern and often frenzied world, Shabbat comes to reminds us that meaning in our lives lies not in what we accomplish but in being part of the universe. Soulful Shabbat is a unique Saturday morning worship experience that emphasizes quiet melody, meditation, and movement, along with traditional davvening and Torah study. This contemplative practice gives us the opportunity to slow down and rediscover ourselves, and to reconnect with the spirit found in silence, friends, community, nature and the One.

Soulful Shabbat, led by Rabbi Alan Flam will be held on the third Saturday of the month in the Fishbein Chapel. One does not need to be a member of Temple Emanu-El to participate – Soulful Shabbat is open to all who are interested and no background in either Jewish worship or meditative practice is required. Participants should wear comfortable clothing.

Please note – the drumming and meditation group will meet just prior to Soulful Shabbat beginning at 9:30. The 2016-2017 dates are as follows:
